A friend finishing his marketing degree told me, dead honest: "Why did I spend four years learning this if Claude can do it better than me in ten seconds?" He wasn't joking. He was doing the math on his own relevance and coming up short.
This talk is about the wrong conversation we're having about AI and mental health. The question isn't "will AI take my job?" The real one is quieter, harder to Google, and way more dangerous: where will my sense of accomplishment come from if a machine does the thinking for me? And how do I stop it before it takes my best people?

Built on an unprecedented integration of three clinical theories (Frankl, Seligman, Deci & Ryan), 2026 data from Scientific Reports , and a Luddite parallel almost no one is reading correctly. For HR, founders and operators.
